IMAP Expire and Archive Settings

With IMAP, your email is stored on our servers, with these Expire and Archive settings we can manipulate your emails and move them around...

Expire and Archive Settings
  • Trash expire: Once you move email in to your Trash folder, we can automatically delete them for good after so many days.
  • SPAM expire - same as above, but we'll delete email in your spam folder after so many days
  • Archive Settings - You can select the age at which a message is archived (ie keep a week/month/3-month/year worth of email), and how to archive it (ie move in to a folder based on the year, or year and month folders) This is useful to keep your Inbox from filling up with lots of old email, and will speed up access to your Inbox. Archiving will run overnight and will only apply to messages in the Inbox that are read. The subfolders ('Archive', years and months) will be created by the system for you. This is intended to be used for IMAP users, as with POP3 messages are not normally stored on the server. The date used is the date the message was received by us, not the date the message was sent by the sender.
